<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4508772, member: 19165&quot;]Two hypotheses:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- assume that once you contract it, you&#039;re somewhat immune to it (for a time). If many people have recovered, there is a herd immunity built into the population that reduces the chance of spread. Since this is a new virus, there is currently no herd immunity. It takes time. Perhaps by January, there will be enough herd immunity to reduce the severity of spread/outbreaks. There&#039;s a lot of ifs here, of course, but it&#039;s been observed in other viruses. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- assume that within 6-9 months there will be a vaccine. Based on the billions in research and fast-track lanes these developmental vaccines are receiving, that&#039;s not completely impossible. The vaccine might not be widespread by January, but I&#039;d expect that vaccines would be approved and started implementing before Christmas. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you accept either of these hypotheses as remotely plausible, then a January FUN show might be possible. I&#039;m going to choose to believe it will happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
